## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability worldbank-x402-vercel-app-562cf1ba
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the World Bank country profile for Japan — I need its capital, region, income level, and coordinates?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need basic country identification and classification data — capital city, geographic region, income level, and coordinates — sourced directly from the World Bank. Prefer this over general geocoding APIs when World Bank classification (income level, lending type) is specifically needed, or when building development-context-aware applications. Best for single-country lookups; use the sibling 'compare' endpoint for multi-country comparisons.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ISO2 country code returns an error or empty result
- Missing required 'country' query parameter causes a 400 bad request
- Unsupported country codes (e.g. territories not recognized by World Bank) may return no data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required before data is returned
